ThinkPad: A Symbol of Ownership in a World of Rented TechAdded:
Here's the thing, though. And this is what I find genuinely fascinating about the ThinkPad phenomenon. It wasn't really about the laptop. It was about what the laptop represented. The ThinkPad cult emerged at exactly the moment when the tech industry was shifting from we make tools you own to we make products you rent. Apple perfected this with the iPhone and then brought it to the Mac. You don't repair it yourself, you don't upgrade it, you use it, and when we decide it's obsolete, you buy the new one. The ThinkPad was a rejection of that entire philosophy.
